Summary

Full disclosure...we're doing a little time travel here. Going back in time, when we didn't know the (probably predictable) Iowa Caucus results. So please enjoy Meghan talking with Puck's Tara Palmeri about where it all went wrong for Ron DeSantis. She also spoke with Salena Zito about the Vivek of it all. And finally, to leave us with a smile, Seena Ghaznavi pops in to make us feel better that at least the U.S. is better than living in Iran, as his mom always likes to remind him.

0:40.1

King Day, so we're actually recording from home. So if we sound a little different, that's why it is also

But by the time you hear this, you will know who won and you will know the results and the rankings of each candidate.

1:04.1

Now, I said on the last episode that the only poll that matters and the only pollster that matters in Iowa is Anne Seltzer from the Des Moines Register.

1:13.6

Her Iowa premier poll came out Saturday night and I'm a loser.

1:19.0

Well, I'm not a loser, but I'm a dork.

1:20.4

So I looked at it and was very excited to hear about it as soon as it came out.

1:32.4

count in this, but we're going to get into the Vavec of it all. So if you're listening to this,

1:37.8

Trump has most likely won. And what I want to do is sift through what that means, if anything,

1:43.8

at all. And again, we'll get

1:45.8

into that more in this podcast. We have Tara Palmerie, who is the Puck News senior correspondent

1:52.0

and Selena Zito, who is the Washington Examiner National Reporter. If you follow politics
